Description
Drive just 1 hour from Melbourne’s CBD to this natural amphitheatre: a perfect spot for a hot air balloon tour. Let the breeze usher you over the Yarra River and splendid countryside.
Experience the thrill of ascending over a changing landscape at sunrise, suspended in a basket, floating under a spectacular hot air balloon. The cold air hits your cheeks, clouds floating past, the hot flames above warm you up under the morning sky… as you take flight… up, up, and float away.
Join a spectacular hot air balloon experience with a bird's eye view of the picturesque Yarra Valley (located an hour’s drive from Melbourne) – Victoria’s renowned wine region.
Operating daily (weather permitting) this once-in-a-lifetime tour experience provides an entirely different perspective of the Yarra Valley, beyond the typical tourist itinerary.
Take off on a beautiful hot air balloon flight over the Yarra Valley at sunrise. The Yarra Valley is home to 90 vineyards and 35 wineries, many of which hold a reputation for creating world-class wines. See it from an entirely new perspective as you breeze over the picture postcard landscape.
Meet your pilot approximately one - two hours before sunrise at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel in Melbourne (you will be advised of the exact time and location when you phone the duty pilot the night before your flight).
Your pilot will give you a short briefing before being transported to the launch site where you may help with the launch or stand back and take photos of the balloon as it is inflated. Then, climb aboard, and away you go gently floating over the Yarra Valley as if you were a cloud.
It is truly one of the most magnificently tranquil, picturesque, and dream-like experiences you can do. Afterward, make a final landing, pack the balloon away, and enjoy a sparkling breakfast (before being transferred back to the Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel in Melbourne
